Its present name was derived from the name of the wife of Lord Augustus Loftus, the state governor at the time. Today, the mostly rural Emmaville’s main industries include tourism, agriculture and mining. Its places of interest include a mining museum that features a collection of mineral specimens and photos from the town’s early days. Fossicking, or the recreational gathering of minerals, is also a popular tourist activity in the area.
